Net Neutrality is one of the most critical issues we face today (if you don’t know about it you need to read this!)
The most effective way to protect Net Neutrality and get the Telecoms (AT&T, Comcast, etc.) to stop overcharging for service and compete to provide Americans neutral, faster & cheaper service like many other countries are developing, is to use our power as consumers to incentivize the Telecoms to compete for our business.
Here’s the Net Neutrality Pledge we are asking ISPs to take. We will switch our internet service to the 1st ISP to take this pledge publicly (as long as they offer service where we live).
There has been not been a completely effective solution proposed to date. Critics worry that even the best legislation would contain too many loopholes. Ideally the Telcoms should self-regulate but the only way to get them to do so is to make it in their interests to promote a fast and open Internet. Join this campaign to make it happen.

The Net Neutrality Pledge
The members of this campaign will switch our internet service to the first Internet Service Provider to publicly take this Net Neutrality pledge that provides service in our area.
- We will not place restrictions on the kinds of equipment that may be used to access the network
- We will not place restrictions on the modes of communication allowed
- We will not place restrictions on content, sites or platforms
- We will not implement unnecessary quality of service tiering model – where certain sites are faster than others if they pay a steep tax
- We will not censor any sites content
- We commit to pass profits on to our customers in the form of the best rates and service we can offer while maintaining a realistic budget to maintain and improve our infrastructure and customer service, as well as satisfy our shareholders.
- We will not charge unnecessarily exorbitant rates on internet service, but rather keep our service package pricing in line with the actual costs it takes to support the service
- We pledge not to collaborate with our competitors to keep prices high, but to compete against our competitors in an attempt to offer the best, most affordable internet service to the public.
- We pledge to be constantly pushing towards a new frontier of faster, more reliable internet service.
- We pledge to do our best to offer more broadband and faster service to our customers, and to bring the American ISP market up to speed with stronger providers overseas, such as in France where internet service that is 50x faster than American service is available for half the price
